Blog of the Month - September 2011
Since purchasing their colonial style house in the Washington, D.C. area in 2009, F and S have been busy with a whole variety of DIY home improvements and crafty projects mixed in with a bunch of tasty recipes that make our mouths water just reading about them! Most recently, they’ve just completed their project to finish their basement, including a new staircase, a pantry, a den / sewing room, a bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry closet and some storage. Whew … just reading about it is enough to make use exhausted! Now they’re tackling an even bigger project - a bedroom renovation just in time for a new addition to their family - and we’re looking forward to reading more about both. Be sure to check out the latest happenings at Our Little Beehive through the posts linked below!

Waaaay back when Hurricane Sandy hit, Bower Power and friends were hosting a fall Pinterest Challenge. I was so in. I had a photo pinned of a living room with a navy blue accent wall, a huge window and a white couch. I've loved that room forever.

Today our family said goodbye to the sweetest dog we've ever known. My Lexi girl had the most amazing life, always surrounded by her best friends. She graduated from college with me and went to the office every day for several years with me before retiring to the farm when we went to law school. Her days were filled...Our First CSA Box

On a total whim, we bought a CSA share this week through Sinclair Farms. Have you ever belonged to one before? We've never had a share before so we decided to go with the single share instead of a family share. It's supposed to be enough for one person who doesn't eat out much or two people who do. I was a little...Nutella Stuffed Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies w/ Sea Salt

I follow Annie's Eats on Facebook and when she posted a photo of Nutella stuffed cookies the other day, I had to make them immediately. And by immediately I mean I made them a few days later because I didn't have Nutella in the house. I'd actually never tried Nutella before. Thank you, Annie, for introducing me to yet...One Year Gone

I can't believe a full year of his little life is gone. So sad!As a one-year-old Baby M has graduated...
